WhatsApp has officially reintroduced a beloved feature removed last year.
The ‘View Once’ option, allowing users to send photos and videos that disappear after a single viewing.
Despite its initial positive reception, the feature faced criticism for potential child safety issues.
After its removal from desktop due to screenshot concerns, WhatsApp has now reinstated the feature, with plans to extend it to voice notes.
The return of ‘View Once’ is expected on web and desktop platforms in the coming weeks, but it’s unclear if the screenshot issue has been fully addressed.
The possibility of applying this feature to text messages remains uncertain.
